VCBet on the Champions League Final

Defences will rule the day when Liverpool face AC Milan in the Champions League final on May 25. That's the call from VC Bet's Nick Blezard who believes the watertight rearguards of both teams could see one goal decide European football's premier club competition. "With so much at stake the only attacking we'll be seeing in Turkey will be of the 'counter' variety," he said. "Liverpool have built their tremendous run on the foundations of some great defending and we all know what sort of game plan the Italians will take into the final." AC Milan played out an ultra defensive 0-0 with Juventus when they took on their Italian rivals in the 2003 Champions League final. Milan eventually claimed the trophy in a penalty shoot-out. "There is no doubt that the return to full-fitness of Djibril Cisse is a massive plus for Liverpool and he will be a huge boost for Rafael Benitez's European tactics but I believe that Milan's superior big match experience tilts things towards the Italians. "This game has got 1-0 written all over it and with that in mind I recommend backing the under 2½ goals quote as well at 4/7." Interestingly, one VC Bet punter thinks goals won't be a problem for either side in Istanbul. The firm face a monster £100k pay out if Liverpool beat AC Milan 4-2. The big hitting punter has staked £1k at 100/1 on Rafael Benitez's side pulling off that unlikely scoreline after he recently dreamt the whole game. Suggested bets: AC Milan 1-0 11/2, under 2½ goals 4/7.
